by Alex Billington December 25, 2023
Joyeux Noel! Gledelig Jul! Frohe Weihnachten! Mele Kalikimaka! From all of us at FirstShowing.net, we want to wish every one our readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays! Whether you’re in hanging out at home alone, spending the time with family or friends, or just with your partner; or whether it’s snowing or sunny where you are, we hope you have a lovely weekend full of relaxation and warmth and smiles. Despite all the turmoil and troubles throughout this year, movies have still kept us entertained and excited. Thanks for reading and thanks for following FS throughout this year. And the past few years. It has been a tough year for websites, especially independent ones like this. As always, the movies and the movie lovers are what keep us going. Even if this summer’s big movies weren’t that memorable, end of the year surprises like Godzilla: Minus One, The Iron Claw, and The Holdovers make up for it. Stay safe, stay happy, stay sane movie lovers. News and trailers always slow down during the holidays, but we’ll be operating at full-speed again once it is 2024. Keep an eye out for a few more updates leading us right into the New Year.
